About Me

I worked at the World's Biggest Bookstore in Toronto for 10 years, until it closed in 2014. During my time there I planned themed endcaps and did author interview displays.
From September 2010 until December 2012 I contributed book reviews and New Author Spotlight posts to SF Signal. From August 2013 to May 2014 I did a Recommended Reading with Professionals column there once or twice a month.
I've got a BA in Medieval History from the University of Toronto.
I'm an avid photographer and crafter, and started making my own greeting cards a few years ago.

Book Review Requests

I'm trying to reduce the number of physical books cluttering my bookshelves and floor, so I won't be accepting many new review books. I'm also being much harsher than usual when reading, giving books about 50 pages to wow me before I move on to the next one.

Over the years my grandmother bought a ton of stamp sets for the kids who collected them. But over time the kids stopped collecting the stamps but she kept on buying them. Some of the sets have made their way to me, one of which dealt with technological advances.

It's cool to see what things various countries have commemorated via stamps. This set had stamps from Australia, Indonesia, Antigua, the Republic of Congo, Belgium, Rwanda, Germany, etc.
